It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the joint 14th Triennial Congress of the Union of National African Paediatric Societies and Associations (UNAPSA), and the 49th Paediatric Association of igeria (PAN) Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference, slated to hold in Abuja, Nigeria, between January 24th and 26th, 2018 at the International Conference Center Abuja
The conference has the main objective of propelling and sustaining a vibrant interactive forum for advocacy, intervention and communication on child health issues. Participants will have an overview of human resources for tackling priority child health concerns in the African region, focusing on the recognition of the strengths of UNAPSA, with the aim of potentiating collaborative programmes that can scale up child survival and development.
We thus consider as timely, the conference theme of: The Impact of Deprivation and Inequality on the African Child, and the sub themes: Polio-free African: Opportunity for Strengthening and Sustaining Routine Immunization, Insurgency and Health of the African Child, and Technological Advances and Innovations for Reducing Childhood Mortality
It is on this note that I, on behalf of the Executives of UNAPSA and PAN, as well as the conference local Organising Committee (LOC), invite you all to the joint 2018 Conference in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city. It promises to be a warm, interactive and rewarding gathering.
Welcome to Abuja
Dr. Adaora A. Okechukwu
Chairperson, local Organising Committee (LOC)
